A slight push on the axle of a bicycle wheel does not cause motion because the force is typically insufficient to overcome the inertia of the wheel and the bicycle itself. Additionally, the wheel's rotational inertia plays a significant role; pushing at the axle does not create a torque sufficient to initiate rotation. The friction between the tires and the ground also resists any movement. Therefore, without sufficient force or torque, the wheel remains stationary.
